Ed, you said that conventional wisdom says narrower tyres are faster. But you said that wider tyres have lower rolling resistance.
So either you are talking about rolling resistance, or you are talking about faster/better performance.
To compare one with the other is like comparing apples with pears.
Lower rolling resistance ≠ faster.
Faster ≠ lower rolling resistance.
Clear?
